With the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimating an autism prevalence of 1 in 36 children in the United States, early and accurate diagnosis is important for children, their families and carers.

OTARC’s Associate Professor Josephine Barbaro and Duke University’s Professor Geraldine Dawson speak to Andrew Saintsing, PhD, Intern, and Stephanie DeMarco, PhD, Managing Editor of the Drug Discovery News Dialogues podcast about early identification of autism.
